Why are peonies expensive?
Peonies have a relatively short growing season and require years before plants reach full production. Weather conditions also strongly affect quality and availability.
How long do peonies last in a vase?
When properly conditioned, peonies can last around 5 to 10 days depending on variety and bloom stage.
Why do peony buds sometimes stay closed?
This can happen because of harvest timing, low hydration, storage conditions, or temperature stress. Florists often use hydration techniques and warmer environments to encourage opening.
Are peonies fragrant?
Some varieties are highly fragrant, while others are bred more for colour, shape, or transport performance.
